Sports Views for November
Sports View
By Leigh Douglas
Baseball season is finally over. Would anyone really complain if they cut about 12 games off the season (is 150 not enough?). Now at least we wont have to hear about ‘the curse’, now we just have to take care of that goat and all will be well.
Is there really any doubt that Carlos Beltran is going to wind up a Yankee? He has gone from being one of the most underappreciated players in the game with the Royals, to having one of the greatest postseason performances. That one series against the Cardinals might have earned him the difference between a 10 to 12 mil a year to now a 16 to 18 mil a year.
It is about time to squash any and all talk of a ‘quarterback controversy’ in Cincinnati. The Bengals are not a contender, not yet at least. Why not let Carson Palmer play now, take his lumps now, so that in a year or two when the whole team is in a position to contend so will he. What good will playing Jon Kitna really do for the Bengals, at best he may be the difference between a 6-10 and an 8-8 season. Either way long term playing Palmer now is the best move for the Bengals, and I applaud Marvin Lewis for the foresight, and the courage to make such a move despite all the criticism.
Does anyone really miss the NHL?
If Jason White won the Hiesman last year, and now this year Adrian Peterson is the best player on the same team as White, how is Peterson not the favorite to win the Hiesman?
Over/Under for the upcoming NBA season:
1 week-Before Kobe is crying to the press, and finding a new scapegoat for the Lakers struggles
1 month-Before the breakup of the Blazers
1 game-Before Yao Ming starts to back off and lets McGrady take over the team
2 weeks-Before Isaiah Thomas makes his first trade
6 weeks-Before Baron Davis gets hurt
3 quarters-Before Ron Artest gets a technical foul
2 games -Before Antoine Walker attempts his 50th field goal
2 months -Before Shaq subtlety points out to the media that Miami is winning, and the Lakers aren’t
